Article 1, Right of Equality, in Malaysia all the people also have their right in education.
In other words, all Malaysian have the right to study without on the race, region, and gender
neither age. They all are equal to have or to continue on the studies. As my experience, all
children’s may need to send to school at age 7, and have to complete primary school at12. For
those parents fail to send the young for school, they are against the law.
Freedom from discrimination mentioned in Article 2, all men and women should be

to everyone in this country.

lower the voting age to 18, from 21 previously. The amendment also included provisions for
voters to be automatically registered on electoral rolls and for candidates to be eligible to stand

As a conclusion, the all 30 Article is basic human right law to protect and make sure all
the people treat equally. And above mention major is based on my personal experience or
incidences happen around me.
